This is unbelievable.
I agree that it's unbelievable ISU is 8-15 from 3 and losing at half.

The good thing is we are a 2nd half team.

ISU has done the best job of any team this season of making the extra pass against our zone and they are being rewarded for it.

I guess some people expect us to win every game by 20 or something. They probably won't shoot 50% from 3 again and we probably won't shoot 10% from 3 again. Geez.

TX & OSU tied at 37 just before half. All 5 games in the Big 12 the last 2 days have been within 1 possession w/ the final 2 still to finish tonight.

Only thing keeping me from game tonight is a long ago planned Caribbean cruise. Trying to stream the game on the high seas is no fun, but thankful for this thread. Thankful for Hambone, who is truly the voice of reason on the Sicem basketball page.

Drew is going to make adjustments at half and I bet we roll. I took Baylor -5 in the second half. Bet we pound it down low. Kept Acuil on the bench too long.

Outside of isu hitting 8 3s, Bu is dominating the glass and not turning it over much.

King too much dribbling but ends up finding Motley, who misses a rushed shot. he is off tonight too

Long gets a layup. ISU leads

a lob is mixed up between 2 Bears, turnover.

Bears get a stop, then Manu misses an open 12 foot pull up, Bears keep ball

one of those nights so far... man we need some shots to start falling

great inbounds play leads to a Motley layup, 40-39 BU 16:30

Motley may have gotten a piece on a bad Morris miss, then Motley is stripped down low, and Naz Long gets a layup... 41-40 ISU 15:50

Manu's pass too high, turnover. media timeout @ 15:20, ISU 41-40

This isn't going so well. I really don't like any lineup out there without Joe in the middle.

This is the first time all year where it really feels like there is no sense of urgency. Manu needs to run the offense better so we can expose them on the blocks

If Manu isn't knocking down the 3, I don't see much reason to give him much time tonight..

Very undersized vs ISU's guards.
